CONTAINER FOR LIQUIDS Filed June 19, 195s Patented Oct. 27, 1942 UNiTED STATES PATENT OFFICE CONTAINER FOR` LIQUIDS Ana Bosi de Fallardi, Buenos Aires, Argentina Application June 19, 1939, Serial No. 279,973

In Brazil June 29, 1938 6 Claims.

This invention relates to containers of the type commonly made from sheetl metal and employed for storing, shipping and dispensing liquids.

The invention has for its object to provide a spout-like member secured to the container and adapted, when its end and the adjacent wall of the container are punctured, to enable the contents to be poured without danger of the liquid accumulated on the container top from nding its way back into the container.

A further object is to so arrange the spout with relation to the rim of the container that a plurality of such containers may be evenly stacked one upon the` other. A still further objectis to provide a dispensing tube which may be removably applied to the spout as an aid in pouring off liquid from the container.

In the accompanying drawing wherein an approved embodiment of` the invention is illustrated: Fig. l is a fragmentary perspective view of an end of a container illustrating the invenH tion' applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional View through the spout-like member and an adjacent part of the wall of the container.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged top plan view of the container before the application of the spout-like member thereto.

Referring to the drawing in detail the numeral I indicates portions of the side Walls of thecontainer and 2 indicates the top or upper wall there joined to the side walls by a rim 3, the several walls of the container being jointed to form a hermetically sealed enclosure for liquid.

According to the invention the top wall 2 `of the container is provided with a circular depression D to form a seat for the attaching flange F of the spout-like dispensing member B.

The body of the spout member B is of substantially tubular form open at the lower end and closed at the upper end as indicated at C while the central portion of the depression D is slightly raised asrindicated at E and is located in the open lower end of the tubular part of the spout. The ange F is soldered to the adjacent portion of the wall of the container to securely fasten the spout member is position.

The height of the spout member B is so chosen that it does not extend above the plane of the rim 3 and does not therefore, interfere in any way with stacking the containers one upon `the other, an expedient which is frequently employed in storing containers of this character.

When it is desired to pour the contents of the container the closed end C and the underlying raised portion E of the top of the container are punctured by a suitable sharp pointed instrument whereuponthe container may be tilted to cause the contents to pour through the opening thus Cil formed in the spout member. Owing to the raised position of the outlet formed in the spout member it is impossible for the contents of the container which frequently accumulates on the top 2 to return to the portion of the liquid still remaining in the container.y

To further facilitate dispensing the contents of the container a tube A is provided which may b-e slipped over the end of the tubular body of the spout member B and to ensure the retention of the dispensing member A in position, the tubular body B is preferablytapered.

I claim:

1. In combination, a hermetically closed container including an upper wall, a spout-like member including a substantially tubular body closed at one end, and a flange at the opposite end of said body secured to said container wall, the closed end of said spout-like member and the portion of the container wall lying thereunder being adapted to be perforated to facilitate removal of the contents of the container.

2. In combination, a hermetically closed container including an upper wall having an upstanding rim-like marginal portion, a spout-like member including a substantially tubular body closed at one end, and a ange at the opposite end of said body secured to said container wall, the closed end of said spout-like member and the portion of the container wall lying thereunder being adapted to be perforated to facilitate removal of the contents of the container, the closed end of said spout-like member terminating approximately in the plane of said rim-like marginal portion.

3. In combination, a hermetically closed container including an upper wall, a spout-like member including a hollow body closed at one end, and a flange at the opposite end of said body secured to said container wall, the closed end of said spout-like member and the portion ofV the container wall lying thereunder being adapted to be perforated to facilitate removal of the contents yof the container, said hollow body being tapered, and a dispensing tube applied to said spout-like member.

, 4. An arrangement as claimed in claim l characterized in that the container wall is formed with a depression accommodating said iiange.

5. An arrangement as claimed in claim l characterized by the provision of a protuberance formed on the container wall and projecting into the interior of the hollow body.

6. An arrangement as claimed in claim 1 characterized by the provision of a protuberance formed ron the container wall and projecting into the interior of the hollow body, the portion of the container wall surrounding said protuberance being depressed to accommodate said flange.
